Dolmeh (Persian/Iranian), usually stands for any kind of vegetable and fruit stuffed with meat and rice. Dolmeh Barg, literally meaning stuffed leaves, is the name for stuffed grape leaves. This is a very popular food of Middle Eastern nations. Other veggies that are also often stuffed include eggplants, zucchini, bell pepper and tomatoes. They can be served cold or warm. When served warm, they are usually stuffed with meat and vegetables. When served cold, they are stuffed with rice and currants. Dolmeh makes excellent hors d'oeuvres for cocktails. It is difficult to trace the origin of this dish. Whether it originated in the vine-growing regions of the Caucasus or in the Middle East is not known for sure. Whatever its origin, it is the favorite dish of Turkamans, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Azarbaijanis, Armenians, Turks, Greeks, Arabs and the Iranians.
